Castor and Pollux - Anita

My fifth and final constellation is named "Gemini." Gemini can be seen in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, located northeast of the constellation Orion.
This constellation displays two brothers, their love for one another so strong, it was unbreakable.

Vocabulary Words:
Castor – the mortal demigod son of Zeus and Leda; brother of Pollux
Pollux – the immortal demigod son of Zeus and Leda; brother of Castor
Zeus – the god of lightning and king of the Greek gods; the wielder of thunderbolts
Underworld – a kingdom underground where the souls of the dead are judged upon their actions in life. And based on this information, they are either eternally punished or blessed.

Castor and Pollux were the twin demigod children of Leda and Zeus. Castor was a mortal, but Pollux was immortal. Both boys grew up as princes of Sparta, an ancient Greek city. Eventually, when they were young men, they started to pursue their passions: Castor, wanting to be a horse tamer, and Pollux, wanting to be a boxer.
And so, the twins led normal lives together. They both were minor heroes, but brave warriors. They had developed a close bond/relationship between one another, and remained together for the rest of their lives.
According to some Greek myths, Castor soon died either because of war complications, old age, or disease. Pollux grieved for Castor, for he was immortal, and could not retreat to the Underworld with his brother.
Pollux begged his father Zeus to bless his brother with part of his own immortality. Zeus abided, but under one condition: Pollux AND Castor would have to spend their time partially on Earth, and partially in the Underworld. Pollux agreed to the deal, willing to do anything to be with his beloved brother again.
Because the two brothers cared about one another so deeply, Zeus was struck with amazement. He had never seen this type of spectacle before. So he decided to place their constellations in the sky together, in remembrance of their affection towards one another.
